ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the Primary Health Care inter-sectoral network in a rural context to face domestic violence against children and adolescents. Method: A qualitative research study, with the Paradigm of Complexity as theoretical and methodological framework. Eighteen health professionals from two rural Family Health Units in a municipality in the state of São Paulo were the participants. Data was collected through minimum maps of the institutional network and focus groups in May and June 2019. Data was analyzed through thematic analysis. Results: Two categories emerged, entitled "It's not nonexistent, but it's complicated" and "We're always on the firing line". The existence of a weakened network; assistance based on biomedical bias; and care fragmentation were characteristics present in the care provided to the families. Final considerations: The absence of network care was evident, with isolation and overload of the Primary Health Care unit that is enhanced by the characteristics of rurality.

Abstract Objective: Emergency Risk Communication (ERC) is known as 1 of the important components of an effective response to public health emergencies. In this study, we aimed to investigate the preparedness of the Primary Health Care Network (PHCN) of Iran in terms of the ERC. Methods: This study was conducted in 136 Primary Health Care Facilities (PHCFs) affilated to Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, Iran. Data in terms of ERC were collected using a checklist developed by the Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Results: The findings of the study revealed that 65.9% of the PHCFs had low preparedness in terms of the ERC, 33.3% had a moderate level and 0.8% had high preparedness in this regard. There was a significant difference between the level of ERC and the history of crisis in the past year, PHCF type, and the education level of the responsible employees in the crisis unit in the PHCF. Conclusions: The results showed that the PHCFs studied need to increase their capacity and capability in the field of ERC. Further efforts to provide ERC components may increase the preparedness of PHCN in Iran in terms of the ERC.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the care provided by Basic Health Units (BHU) to families involved in domestic intrafamily violence against children and adolescents. Method: Qualitative research, based on the Paradigm of Complexity. Data collection was performed with 41 professionals through focus groups and semi-structured interviews. Results: The following categories emerged from data analysis: 'Everything comes here', which reflects the legitimate place of BHUs for the population and the actions taken to build care for families; and 'We only do what is really necessary', which brings the look to violence still based on the positivist and biomedical paradigm. Final considerations: The model of understanding and construction of work processes in the BHU is structured in the aforementioned paradigm. Nurses have the possibility to become agents of change, both in professionals' training and in the care thought and provided to communities.

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the factors associated with the underreporting on the part of nurses within Primary Health Care of abuse against children and adolescents.METHOD: cross-sectional study with 616 nurses. A questionnaire addressed socio-demographic data, profession, instrumentation and knowledge on the topic, identification and reporting of abuse cases. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression was used.RESULTS: female nurses, aged between 21 and 32 years old, not married, with five or more years since graduation, with graduate studies, and working for five or more years in PHC predominated. The final regression model showed that factors such as working for five or more years, having a reporting form within the PHC unit, and believing that reporting within Primary Health Care is an advantage, facilitate reporting.CONCLUSION: the study's results may, in addition to sensitizing nurses, support management professionals in establishing strategies intended to produce compliance with reporting as a legal device that ensures the rights of children and adolescents.

Abstract Introduction In Brazil, according to the National Policy for Integral Health for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transvestites, Transsexuals, Queers, Intersexuals and other identities (LGBTQI+), it is increasingly necessary to guarantee access to the health system, as well as to train qualified professionals. Objective describing the perception of Community Health Agents (CHA) about the approach to and access of LGBTQI+ people to primary health care. Methods Quantitative research conducted in October 2019 with 60 community health workers from the municipality of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The research was approved by the Ethics and Research Committees of the participating institutions. Results it was found that 100% of the CHA have already supported LGBTQI+ people, 19.2% identify prejudiced attitudes and delay in service as barriers to accessing the unit, and 19.2% recognize the presence of group activities in the unit. In the view of the CHA interviewed, LGBTQI+ patients could be approached in groups (50%), individually (19.2%) or both (30.8%). Among the strategies to increase the access of those patients, 61.5% are unaware and 38.5% listed possible strategies to be implemented in the unit. The topics of interest for discussion were: approach to reception, sexual identity, prejudice, psychological support, family, diseases, violence, and rights. Conclusions From the perspective of community health agents, the study allowed reflections on how approaching and making access available to LGBTQI+ patients in the primary care network. This evidences stigmas and fragility of professionals in the individual and collective approach to deal with issues regarding guidance sexuality and gender identity of the clientele served. It is important to emphasize permanent education actions among professionals, aiming at a comprehensive health care for the LGBTQI+ population. Key messages Welcoming and qualified listening promote comprehensive health care for the LGBTQI+ population. Improvements in the access of the LGBTQI+ population to the primary health care network decrease morbidity and mortality.

ABSTRACT Objective: evaluate, based on the professionals’ experience, the primary health care quality in home cities of children and adolescents with HIV, treated at a specialized service. Method: cross-sectional study involving 527 professionals in 25 interior cities in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, in the first semester of 2014. The Primary Care Assessment Tool was applied. Pearson’s chi-square Test, the Mann Whitney Test and the Poisson Regression were used. Results: the Estratégia Saúde da Família and the primary health care service presented a high score related to the essential attributes: longitudinality (7.17 and 6.74), coordination-integration of care (6.87 and 7.03) and coordination-information systems (8.24 and 8.19); and a low score for the attribute access (3.96 and 3.8). The variables: female gender (0.009), education as general practitioner (<0.001), statutory staff (0.029), coordinator position (0.087) and not having another job (0.027) were also associated with the high score. Conclusion: the coverage of the Estratégia Saúde da Família needs to be expanded and structural and organizational shortages in the access need to be overcome.
